First of all walking into the spiritual center felt warm and welcoming. Many people hugging each…read moreother and greeting one another. The center is not overwhelmingly big but it's big enough, with plenty of seating. Then we took our seats and when the service started with music and songs it was very uplifting and engaging. The pastor spoke about the different religions they draw from and i enjoyed that. It was a very positive and uplifting service. I plan on attending every chance i get. They also offer various classes which is wonderful.

There's a serious safety issue happening inside the LGBT Center that needs to be addressed. Someone…read morehas been following me and others around in ways that feel invasive and unsafe. Their behavior crosses personal boundaries and feels like harassment both in person and online. There's so much service at this location and I really value my lgbt family. But it's hard when certain service requests always seem to have this vapid interruption. I'm not accusing anyone directly or superficially. I would just think twice when it comes to the current affairs of the Rostovsky filing and how it may or may not be interacting with certain employees. I'm sharing this because everyone deserves to feel protected and respected in community spaces -- especially my partner; and at a center that's supposed to be a safe haven. The organization really needs to take a closer look at what's happening here and ensure better security and accountability for all members. It's bad enough they take data.

About Families is a wonderful organization providing community and support to new moms. We took a…read morebirth class which educated and prepared us very well for labor and delivery. The warmth and kindness of the doulas and staff made us feel safe and cared for. We were able to meet our doula Joanna, and then met with her several times before labor and delivery. She helped answer questions, ease worries, and support decision making every step of the way. So thankful to have her with me there at the hospital through my very long labor, helping keep me (and my family) calm and advocating for me. Once our little girl arrived, Joanna continued to check in, coming to our home to insure breastfeeding was going well. After recovering I was able to start attending the moms' group hosted by Elizabeth. She has been there each week to answer questions, ease worries, and facilitate new friendships with other moms, all while letting our little ones interact, learn, and grow. An absolutely wonderful organization that has made my journey into motherhood empowered. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so very much!

I am new to the Coachella Valley and expecting my first child this September. I googled Prenatal…read moreYoga classes in the Valley and About Families came up in my search engine. I checked out their Facebook page, website and Yelp reviews. I could not have any more positive things to say about Joanna, Elie and the organization. Elie teaches Yoga at 5:30 every Tuesday. Classes are $12 or $10 if you prepay four classes through PayPal. I use PayPal because it makes things so much more convenient. You have to take your own mat but occasionally they will have 1-2 loaner mats but nothing beats taking your own mat. My fiance and I also took the Informed Childbirth classes with Joanna on Wednesday evening. The class really is what it is, Informed Childbirth. The baby books can only teach you so much but being in class with other expectant couples and Joanna who is a certified doula really has enlightened the child birth process and options that I will have at the hospital when my little guy decides to make his big arrival. I joined prenatal yoga in hopes to meet other expectant moms in the area and get to know some new friends. I have met some pretty awesome people and look forward in continuing to see About Familes grow. You really need to check this place out if you are a family or mother to be in the Coachella Valley.

I wanted to check this boutique out. Since we drove out a ways only to find out it was closing,…read moreliterally as we pulled up trying to park, 2 older ladies with much strength, came out racing to pull their clothing rack inside and locked the door putting Closed sign on door. It was about 10 minutes before 2pm. I'm a realist, it's a long holiday weekend-they want to leave early too so they can enjoy it, rightfully so & it's just like the other Assistance League boutiques, they randomly close 15-20 minutes Saturdays all the time anyways. My husband said he could've sworn one of the ladies had a smirk on her face, and really who cares? So we ended up going to all the Revivals and spending money there as it's a much worthy cause. My screenshots reflect the business hours listed on their website & we didn't see a sign stating they're closing early because of the holiday but it should just be assumed & I'm sure all loyal neighboring patrons were aware. 5 stars for looking like a nice boutique.

The group of women are…read morea "close circle" and they don't even acknowledge your existence, unless you show that you have money to squander into their "charitable contributions " which consists of drinking and partying. They boast themselves in promote volunteerism when in fact they reject any collaboration of non profit organizations I had contacted and had shown interest in helping. The money collected by this organization is not reported to its members. Furthermore most of the parties they promote are linked to businesses owned by their members thus consisting in a conflict of interest. The membership of $ 150.00 goes mostly to parties and they emphasize their efforts in participating of the El Paseo Fashion show, were they can display their lavish clothes and apparel and, of course drink more alcohol. They will exclude you from most of their own parties because they tend to put themselves in a pedestal of selfishness. The charitable contributions are not chosen by the members but only by a few whose interests are to make sure they can continue to promote parties where alcohol is consumed. I left this organization deeply concerned that they are actually running a wine club on the guise of "charity " and also promoting their own businesses utilizing the funds that should go to real causes.
